During one of my weaker brain farts, I did something like that. I
figured that if I immersed an egg in water, the water would sort
of insulate the egg and cause it to cook evenly and gently. "I

was coated with egg whites, yolk, and shell." I was also
impressed with the shear volumn of the explosion that ensued.
